Anyone know where can I get Philips Master T8 LED (Cool White 840)? One that sells in 2-4 pack, not 10.

Ecofit with 73 CRI feels kinda depressing lol
Also anyone have installed 4ft Philips Linea T5 to replace regular 4ft T8? (https://www.philips.com.my/c-p/310943166/linea-wall-light)
How is it going? is the brightness reduction gets too noticeable?

I plan to replace a 4ft T8 with 2 units of Philips T5 LED to get more even illumination, but I afraid the brightness would be problem.

Existing 3000lm brightboost bulb illuminated the room juuuust right.
Even I install 2 T5 LED to come with 2000lm, I afraid 1000lm short will be too noticeable.

Only lighting enthusiasts know the importance of CRI
You might have to seperate the two t5 lighting apart to give a thoroughly evenly spread illumination.

Philips Master usually around RM 50++. I have been using them since the days it was 16W, then upgrade to 14W and now 12.5W. All also 2,100lm for 4' model.
Problem is my 16W not spoiled yet after 6 years in use. whistling.gif

Color rendering should be good enough
